About the Author

Seeking a path to the highest places, Pamela Logan studied aerospace at Caltech and Stanford, worked at a couple of NASA laboratories, and taught college-level aeronautical engineering before setting aside her technical career to explore Asia. As science director at the China Exploration & Research Society, she led a wall paintings conservation project at a Buddhist monastery in the Tibetan region of Kham; she also helped search for Silk Road ruins using spaceborne imaging radar. In 1997, Logan launched Kham Aid Foundation, a nonprofit that she led for fourteen years doing development and humanitarian assistance projects on the eastern Tibetan plateau. She lives with her husband in Colorado.

Reviews

"Deftly captures the cultural nuances of a world little known to or understood by Westerners . . . a love story with a whole culture."- Kirkus Reviews
"A memoir resonant with authentic devotion to serving others. . . . The resilience and beauty of the Tibetan people stand out in this sweeping account."- BookLife
"A highly recommended, inspirational survey . . . Compassion Mandala exposes Tibetan culture and people in a way few that other books achieve." - Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer
"Rich descriptions of alpine villages at the end of nearly impassible trails . . . [This] book should hold special interest for students of Asian Studies and Tibetan Buddhism." - BlueInk Reviews
"The messiness, provisionality, contingency, trial, and plenty of error are what makes this book worthwhile." - Gabriel Lafitte, Rukor.org
